  • Publication number: 20150235978
    Abstract: Electroless nickel bumps of die pads and a method thereof are disclosed. A protection layer is formed on the top surface and a surrounding sidewall of each electroless nickel bump in turn or at the same time by two separated processes or the same process. The two separated processes are selected from the group consisting of immersion gold and immersion silver. Thereby hardness of the top surface of the electroless nickel bump is improved and reduced. Moreover, easy oxidation of the surrounding sidewall of the electroless nickel bump and short circuit of the bump caused by electron migration can both be avoided.

  • Patent number: 8299629
    Abstract: A wafer-bump structure includes a wafer-state semiconductor die, a pre-treatment layer, a first ENIG laminate and at least one pillar bump. The wafer-state semiconductor die includes at least one die pad embedded therein and a passivation layer formed on the wafer-state semiconductor die and the die pad. The passivation layer includes an aperture for allowing access to a portion of the die pad. The pre-treatment layer is formed on the un-covered portion of the die pad. The first ENIG laminate is formed on the pre-treatment layer and an annular portion of the passivation layer around the pre-treatment layer. The pillar bump includes a conductive metal layer and a second ENIG laminate. The conductive metal layer is formed on the first ENIG laminate and another annular portion of the passivation layer around the first ENIG laminate. The second ENIG laminate is formed on the conductive metal layer and another annular portion of the passivation layer around the conductive metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20120181065
    Abstract: A multi-layered circuit board device includes an isolative layer and a wiring layer sequentially provided on a circuit board in a PCB, ceramic, LTCC or aluminum nitride build-up process. Thus, the thickness of the multi-layered circuit board device is small and the density of the multi-layered the circuit board device is high. Furthermore, the structure of the multi-layered circuit board device is simple and the cost of the multi-layered circuit board device is low. The layers are connected to one another in the PCB, ceramic, LTCC or aluminum nitride build-up process without having to use additional alignment target points.

  • Publication number: 20110062590
    Abstract: A chip stacking device uses nano particle silver paste for re-distribution interconnection to form a structure having low resistance through trench filling or printing. Thus, due to its low resistance, it can effectively reduce the electrical instability due to voltage drop after current flows. Furthermore, power consumption is reduced too, with energy saved. With its stable electrical signal, its utilization scope can be further expanded to high frequency product.
